Good news, Silver, some one recognises your true worth!

I'm so happy for you, xSilverPhinx.

Me too xSP, in fact I'm so happy I got your name tattooed on my arm!

[xSilverPhinx]

Thanks guys, I'm really happy about the possibility. Now I just have to pass the selection process early next year. I don't feel ready but I believe I can do it.

My cousin just finished a master project too. Graduated from junior to master baiter.

[Sandra Craft]

I just got off the phone with my advisor, who was discussing my Master's project with me. There's a good chance I'll be working in a hospital memory lab with human subjects! 

That is fantastic and fascinating.  All fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Books!

That's awesome Fernanda! I'm also taking part in a study, but as a subject. Testing to see how brainhq will affect people with psychosis. And I'm getting paid.

[xSilverPhinx]

That's great, Arturo! Brainhq as in brain exercises? Sounds very interesting!

I would be very interested to read how it goes

How very excited she must be

I just got off the phone with my advisor, who was discussing my Master's project with me. There's a good chance I'll be working in a hospital memory lab with human subjects! 

I have a lot to catch up on though. It involves EEG and skin conductance tests, nonsense words, memory interference lists (they give the subjects a list to memorise and later add association words during the test session to see if subjects remember words that were not on the original list), possibly fMRI scans, etc...

I'm psyched!

This sounds fascinating!  I would love to be part of a study like this, especially since my mom and her mom have had Alzheimers disease. I'm all about being a test subject

Alzheimer's runs in my family as well, both sides. There's still a lot to be discovered before more effective treatments can target exactly what goes wrong. For instance, it's still unclear whether memories are truly lost or simply inaccessible in this terrible condition. 

[Dragonia]

I sometimes wonder if the memories are just hiding, and somehow inaccessible. Because my mom will have good days and bad days, good hours and bad hours. Always on the same trajectory, but fluctuations within her weeks. I would like to think I'm still somewhere in her deep memories.

It's more likely that you are in her older memories, as those tend to be more preserved as the structure which forms recent memories is one of the first to malfunction in Alzheimer's. Maybe she remembers you as you were when you were younger.

Well, no memories of me or my sister at this point. If asked, she says she remembers having daughters,  but I think my mom is a good faker, and she plays along sometimes, which makes it even more difficult to discern what's in there.....shes a tricky one, that mama of mine....

That's cute but sad
